Signing UpStep 1Special effects software
arfter quite abit of research i came across three great special effects software.
in third place is fxhome effects lab pro and/or CompositeLab Pro
each cost around 80 pounds and are very easy to use with a wide range of spesial effects from fire, couler correction, muzzle flashes, rain and explosions. everything a starter at special effects need. its pre-keyed which means its just drag and drop. it can be used with green screen or without. its a great piece of software for biginers where you will be able to make youre movies look great. its only let down is in the quality, although good enough, if you look it up on youtube you will see its very, well corney.
in second place is probably the most well known, adobe arfter effects. its pricey but you can create anything you think of. its great quality but its only letdown is its complexity. its hard to use, you have to have some experiance with the program before you can do much at all. but theres 1 extra thing adobe chucked in. its also an editing software which means you dont need to buy 2 products. alot of pro's use this application and i dont blame them. its great, so if you can afford it and have some time to work out its utensils then this software is top of the shops.
but in first place is action essentials 2. lets start by teling you its not as good variaty as arfter effects and that its not the most compatable, but its more simple than fxhome, better quality than arfter effects and only costs $100. almost everyone will be able to buy it everyone will be able to use it and above all everyones movies will look great. its high quality action is unbelievably good for its price, better than all the others and its totally afordable. if you are making a romance then it will be usless but if theres fire or guns, infact any action then this software is unmissable.

For video editing, I discovered kdenlive which is an open-source project. This will run on Mac too. For Windows, there is a DVD / USB special boot that still allows access to the Windows hard-drive.
All I can tell you is kdenlive runs great on Ubuntu.
